History

Year of creation around 1190, known from the seal from 1348. The river called Drwęca bore the name Lubicz in the earlier times. Above that river in 1190 there was a battle between the Mazovian knights and Prussia. For bravery and special battle merits, one of the knights of the Pobóg coat of arms was given the own coat of arms called by the river - Lubicz. Hence the coat of arms of Lubicz is the successor of the Pobóg coat of arms.
